I was looking through yahell news and this caught my eye.I have been taking a break from news lately.Is the bushites so against this because of obvious human rights violations?That would be my guess.What is the bushit spin on this?

By Irwin Arieff UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - General Assembly President Jan Eliasson gave U.N. members on Friday one last week to work out a deal for a new U.N. human rights body that is opposed by the United States but backed by human rights groups and the vast majority of U.N. members.

From Abu-Ghraib, Guantanamo, mass killings in Iraq, the death penalty, the CIA thugs around the world, assasinations, "renditions", not to mention overstocked prisons right here, the USofA complaining about "Human Rights" abuses would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.

if the text doesn't passes in consensus, it opens a pandora's box of amendments. This is its turn allows plenty of countries to "redefine" human rights, which fits the torture lawyers in Washington. The result will probably be a gloomier image of the US among many nations.

regarding the US criticizing it for human rights. They DELIGHT in holding this country in contempt and said something to the affect, this administration has a history of 'moral conceit'. Look, when the UN is called upon on behalf of public housing residents (Cabrini Greens) we have problems...

14. So basically there's no difference between America and 'terrorist nations'

The difference is that terrorists have an excuse. They have been brainwashed and only been given access to censored information that portrays America as the villain. We live in a democracy. We have no such excuse.

...they want to run the world by themselves. That's why they hate the UN. The UN is about countries working together to solve problems, and that's the way it should be because we are all stuck on this planet together, & we are all affected by what happens here. We have to find ways to solve our problems & get along. The conservatives hate this idea. They want to run the whole show themselves.
